Old NYC CCP, circa 1923

This is a discussion on Old NYC CCP, circa 1923 within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Since my grandmother passed away, my mom has been going through all of her stuff. She came across from great-great grandfather's concealed carry permit for ...

Judging by the condition of the permit I'm guessing he carried often. Looks like he sure had his permit with him all the time.
Good man. A nice, unique little piece of family history that you have there.

Yeah...I noticed there is No Expiration Date printed on there. It would be great if you had the same name.

I'm looking into getting it encased in Lucite...that way you can look at both sides of the permit. Would be nice for something on the wall, but more interesting to have it on my desk at work--good conversation piece.

Also--the original owner is from my mom's side, so no common name. Additionally, it shows his place of birth as "Germany". He came from northern Italy, but was on a German ship...I guess the predecessor of Customs & TSA couldn't even get that detail right, so at least the gov't is consistent in that regard. Oh yeah, and they misspelled his name (now spelled Kolletty vs Coletti). What makes him different than some of these immigrants of today? He came here *legally*...

Very neat, but also a sad reminder that sort of regulation has been going on so long.

I agree, a great piece of family history. But it just goes to show you, places like NYC have been regulating, citizens "rights", for decades. Sorry didn't mean to be a buzzkill, just an observation. Anyway still a great piece of history and thanks for sharing it here.
